Weekly Website Review


CNN Student News
By Nicholas Ng

Watch the award winning show CNN Student News on http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/index.html.  The show also airs live on HLN from 4:00-4:10AM Mondays through Fridays during the school year.  Come and enjoy this website with me.


View this noteworthy CNN Student News TV clip: http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/07/studentnews/sn-transcript-fri/index.html.  Reading the transcript of this video was like reading a play but before it started.  Kids interested in directing films and plays would admire this transcript.



 I tried a news quiz.  That’s impossible, but I only score six out of ten correctly.  It’s important for 10-year-olds to know news from around the world, so they know more about other countries.



 Read this article, http://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/09/my-view-what-a-21st-century-science-classroom-should-look-like/.  The writing style is unique and stimulating.  Being a reporter would be enjoyable and exciting because one gets to travel around the world for FREE.



 I watched a video on running a campaign:  http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2012/01/12/eitm-running-for-president.cnn.  I learned running for a political position takes time, effort, and lots of MONEY!



 CNN Student News is a phenomenal website.  I recommend this website to kids in 4th grade and above.  Take your friends along and explore CNN Students News.
